DiZoglio says tinkering with ballot issues after the election amounts to “voter suppression.”

The willingness of Beacon Hill's top Democrats to leave the door open to tinker with ballot issues after voters approved them on Election Day amounts to “voter suppression,” Auditor Diana DiZoglio said at a rally in Quincy on Saturday.

Senate President Karen Spilka and House Speaker Ron Mariano didn't dismiss the possibility when asked late last month whether they would change an issue by changing the MCAS closing requirement or DiZoglio's efforts to give her office explicit authority to open the books to open the legislature would be deleted.

DiZoglio said her comments were a “sneaky attempt at voter suppression.”

“They're trying to stop people from voting according to their conscience by telling them that their vote doesn't really matter, that they'll just ignore the will of the people anyway, and that's unacceptable,” she told the Herald . “We will continue to fight hard and remind people that their voice counts.”

Mariano did not directly say last month whether he would repeal or change DiZoglio's ballot question if it becomes law.

“We'll see. We’ll see what the margin is,” he said.

Spilka said lawmakers “need to see what course it takes.”

DiZoglio said she spoke with Gov. Maura Healey about “how I will 100% call for a veto of any attempts to overturn the will of the people on Question 1.”

“I hope it doesn’t come to that. I hope lawmakers respect the will of the people of Massachusetts,” she said. “(Healey) told me, 'Okay, let's keep the discussion going.'”

But on the MCAS question, Mariano and Spilka made their opposition to eliminating the graduation requirement more explicit.

Spilka said lawmakers would “have some discussion” if the question passes Tuesday.

“I am not in favor of abolishing MCAS. I think it's done, some of the reviews have been good for Massachusetts,” Spilka said. “We will discuss it.”

Mariano said, “Someone needs to evaluate what we are doing in our public school system.”

DiZoglio said Massachusetts residents need to vote “on their conscience on these issues.”

“We will remind people that their voice counts and we will continue to fight for what is right,” she said.

Healey is on the campaign trail in Pennsylvania

Gov. Maura Healey has been racking up frequent flyer miles and hotel points this election cycle.

The first-time governor of Massachusetts has lent her political weight to countless Democratic candidates ahead of the Nov. 5 election, and with just days left until the ballot box, she decided to travel to Pennsylvania for a last-minute campaign Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.

Healey is a super surrogate for the Harris-Walz campaign, and her decision to spend Friday in the Keystone State shows that Harris and Walz are looking for all the help they can get.

Healey and her partner Joanna Lydgate had three events on their schedule Friday, including a meeting with Harris campaign staff and volunteers in Allentown, an LGBTQ get-out-the-vote rally in Allentown and a similar event in Philadelphia.

Healey, one of the country's first lesbian governors, was a key figure in LGBTQ political circles and it's no surprise that the Harris campaign wanted the governor to speak at rallies on the issue.

Healey also spent many days in New Hampshire campaigning on behalf of Joyce Craig, a Democrat running for governor, against Kelly Ayotte, a Republican.

Seth Moulton supports ballot question on psychedelics

U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton, a Salem Democrat and veteran, supported a ballot question that would decriminalize the use of psychedelics and allow people to grow them at home.

The issue has been supported by some veterans groups, who argue that the substances are effective in treating mental health issues such as PTSD. It is supported by Massachusetts for Mental Health Options, which has raised nearly $6 million to advance the measure.

In an opinion piece published Thursday alongside Rep. Shirley Arrigia, a Chicopee Democrat and veteran, she said the ballot question would “introduce a new treatment that can change, if not save, the lives of our fellow veterans.”

In a statement from policy advocates, Moulton said the state should “carefully improve access to treatment that can change lives.”

“I am certain that this provision does not endorse recreational use, but instead establishes a process for developing regulations that balance access and protection. “The mental health crisis is too acute to sit still,” Moulton said.
